Ed reform bullpucky bingo
We’ve all heard these words and phrases coming out of the mouths of ed reformers. If nothing else, these folks do remain true to their script. I have heard these terms from leadership within the Washington State PTA, the League of Education Voters, Stand for Children, Michelle Rhee, Arne Duncan, the Broadies and many other corporate privateers. Unfortunately, these words and phrases have reverberated throughout the corporate sponsored media as well.
On the Dump Duncan Facebook page, someone started a thread that has continued throughout the week and I thought that it would be fun to provide you with words and phrases to use in a game of bingo that can be used whenever one of these privatizers decides to open their mouths and attempt to say something profound.
If I have time later today, I’ll put together a couple of sheets and post them for all to use or to pin up on your wall for easy reference.
You can join in on the Dump Duncan Facebook page or share your words and phrases here.
To follow are some of the words and phrases that I and others have shared along with some additional remarks made by Facebook page members.
Have fun coming up with more!
